[PATCH 4.19 48/86] tcp: fix possible socket leaks in internal pacing mode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 07 2022 - 06:26:04 EST



From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is addressing an issue in stable linux-4.19 only.

In linux-4.20, TCP stack adopted EDT (Earliest Departure
Time) model and this issue was incidentally fixed.

Issue at hand was an extra sock_hold() from tcp_internal_pacing()
in paths not using tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()

Jason Xing reported this leak and provided a patch stopping
the extra sock_hold() to happen.

This patch is more complete and makes sure to avoid
unnecessary extra delays, by reprogramming the high
resolution timer.

Fixes: 73a6bab5aa2a ("tcp: switch pacing timer to softirq based hrtimer")
